Thank you so much for sharing this great list of blogs that are ‘must reads’ for writers.

You have managed to provide for me some new gems of wisdom to review and so I have bookmarked this post, thanks again.

Informative! I personally think that elance, guru, and ODesk offer many writing job opportunities. You can get paid to blog at an hourly wage or per project.

Saw this link via Jon’s twitter (Children’s Writing Web Journal). One of my favs with great insight is http://www.nathanbransford.blogspot.com. It’s an inside look from an agent’s perspective. There’s always tons of great info on it.

Thanks Dustin,

Another pleasant surprise is you feedback through your comments system quickly. I’m impressed, since your last posted comment (before mine) arrived here end of April 2008. (Not all bloggers seem to check comments so promptly, if at all).

I read somewhere Googlebot (The Ranking Algorithm)determines page rank for a website(partially) by the amount of links made back to it (backlinks?). Currently, writerstechnology.com is on page 6 of my generated search results, though “backlinking” should boost your ranking.

I’d like that to happen for two important reasons:

1. Your website helps fiction writers (not just copywriters)
2. Your site is well-written (I thought your “About” biography page was one of the best I’ve read online recently). Online ‘bios’ are not easy to get right!

Your point about citation is a crucial one for online content, Dustin. I am so pleased you mentioned it. I havent looked round all your interesting “Categories” yet, but I will be remembering to cite you or ask permission if an article seems so important, I cant avoid mentioning it on my own blog!

I like to think that’s a professional courtesy…

Kind Regards, _writer.

_writer: Glad that I could be of help. Of course you — or anyone else — can link to this site. Linking is, in my opinion, the bedrock of the Web, both in practical and *moral* terms. Linking provides a service to readers (“Read this, this is good!”), traffic to the sites you link to (who do, after all, want to be read), and attribution where needed (I’m an academic — I think it’s important to cite your references!).
